Between the Major Leagues, Minor Leagues and postseason, Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Walker Buehler threw 176 innings during the 2018 season. It by far was a career high for the right-hander in just his second full season coming off Tommy John surgery.
The plan heading into the 2019 season was for there not to be much, if any, limitations on Buehler. He has a personal goal of reaching the 200-inning threshold.
Just to be cautious though, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said at the beginning of Spring Training that they were going to slow-play Buehler because of the workload he bared in 2018.
